How To Wear Boots 102 - Beyond The Basic Boot Styles

About this video

The Gazette team explores five advanced boot styles beyond the basics: button boots for formal wear, work boots for outdoor and industrial use, moc toe boots as a casual alternative, brogue/wingtip boots for versatile styling, and climate-specific options like suede and duck boots. They discuss appropriate uses, color recommendations, and styling considerations for each boot type.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that button boots are elegant statement pieces for formal outfits, traditionally featuring contrasting two-tone leather and suede but now available with various fabric and color combinations
• The Gazette team recommends work boots primarily for those who work outdoors or in construction, though they note these have become popular in urban fashion; they suggest pairing them with denim rather than formal wear
• The Gazette team identifies brogue/wingtip boots as highly versatile boots suitable for most men, pairing well with flannel suits, tweed, denim, and casual pants, and recommends cordovan or tan colorways for maximum versatility
• The Gazette team cautions against side-zip boots due to premature wear and difficulty in repair, recommending traditional lace-up boots instead
